Who would you rather have on your squad going forward? PPR format.

You have to drop one of them?

Both are going to provide value.

I have both in my 12 team league and I'm using Mathews as RB3 and Jackson as RB4 so if you have to get rid of one then I'd get rid of Jackson

I vote Jackson. PPR or not he will get more touches.

This is what I'm leaning towards at the moment. Tolbert is a vulture, but obviously Mathews plays on a better offense than F-Jax, so that's a plus for Mathews.

Tolbert scares me more than Spiller the enigma.

Unfortunately, yes. I am in an 8 team league (sucks) with some guys I work with and F-Jax is on the waiver wire. Mathews is my lowest tier RB, imo.

Gore
LeGarbage Blount
Felix
Reggie
Mathews

Thoughts?

I like Mathews and Jackson more than Reggie

ETA: I guess Reggie has a lot more value in a PPR, though

My opinion, I'd drop Reggie and keep Matthews

edit: whoops, didn't realize its a ppr.

I honestly don't know who I'd drop.

I can see that. Even in PPR though? I actually drafted F-Jax, but dropped him for Reggie shortly thereafter. I think Miami will be behind often and will be passing a lot. Henne checks down often. Not sure how Reggie's touches will be affected once D. Thomas comes back, but I'd imagine he will still be involved heavily in the passing game.

I'd keep Mathews & Bush. Jackson will have a better week than one of them most weeks but I think overall Mathews & Bush will have better numbers at the end of the season in that league.

not a guy you have to worry about stealing touches. He has been less than impressive to say the least.

No shite. I'll probably just stick with what I've got. I'm gonna beat myself up each week trying to figure out who to start anyway. The reason I tend to avoid 8 team leagues all together, but it was an all work league, so we had to settle for 8. I work for a pretty small company.

EDIT: Just checked this league and another owner dropped BJGE and picked up FJax. Guess I'll be staying put after all.
